codepic 0 Posted January 17, 2004 I'm hoping to get some comments instead of just ratings. The ratings are too confusing for me. At least when they range from 4 to 7... I like this photo a lot myself but I'd like to hear your critique. Not only if you like it or not, but also why and what should I improve... Link to comment
juan monino 0 Posted January 17, 2004 most important part of a portrait is the expression of the portraitee. In this case you got the expression. Link to comment
codepic 0 Posted January 17, 2004 Thank you for a real comment. Although I got only one of them, I got one useful one. Now I have something to go on with. Thanks! Link to comment
johnorban 0 Posted January 17, 2004 The portrait conveys "intensity" to me. I think that is the result of your expression, the direct eye-to-eye contact I have with your image, and the highly contrasted desaturated style. Link to comment
nino1 0 Posted January 18, 2004 It is an intense portrait, and I like this high contrast toning, which makes the photo more dramatic. I like also the composition, the dark side of your face would have been too heavy in the image, considering that you already have a considerable black area in the image. Link to comment
donsorsa 4 Posted May 7, 2004 As earlier comment mentioned intensity, and that's a good starting point for appreciating this photo. Here's what contributes to the power of this image: The catch light, high contrast, details in the long hair and wispy moustache, and the diagonal line of the left part of the face. Sometimes a tight crop like this makes a face float, but I think the long hair and almost full nose/hint of a left eye prevent that from happening. Nice. Now make one of your wife and post that!
